Noel I apologize for offending your sensibilities but being down under I
guess your sensibilities are different than here at the top of the world at
lat 55N. < smile>
I fail to see what Jessica's Hollywood style grab for publicity has to do
with WW2 .
And yes I was thoroughly indoctrinated abut the sacrifices of youth during
WW2 while I was in the Navy.
I grew up on the stories of the exploits of what my parents did under Nazi
occupation. Did you know when the leader of the Danish occupation was
arrested and sentenced to death by firing squad he was all of nineteen and
had been active for four years? My hat's off to those young people.
When Robin took off in Dove way back then; it was without fanfare etc. No
marketing publicities, no hype, just cast off and go. That I respect!.
But a highly publicized stunt to get into a Guinness book of Records as
first something or youngest something . . .hhmmmm now that is too much
like American style hype and that I do not agree with. We have too much of
American bragging in this world already . I'm disappointed to see you guys
down under swallowing that kind of empty dialogue . We see too much of that
in their Hollywood exported movies already .
Had Jessica simply departed quietly and made her announcement after the fact
that I would applaud and respect. But not this publicity hype before the
fact.
Its not her doing. The publicity show was her parent's doing. But the hype
changes it from a personal effort to a publicity stunt..
I would refer you to Matthew Chapter 6 verse 5 which could equally well be
applied to any public bragging if you still haven't understood my meaning.
One thing my parents taught me was to act first then talk about it later,
but only if necessary.

Is this a site about passaging or a venting site. There are plenty of sites
which support those that need to vent, try facebook and twitter and leave
this site for information which helps us all as we voyage to wonderful
places around the world! God Bless - Ross on 10&2
